Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Sara Maitland asks how we have arrived in a culture that values individualism, personal autonomy, independence and fulfilment higher than ever before in human history but at the same time is terrified of solitude. Delving into history to answer this question, she examines our changing culture through the ages and asks why and how we have periodically praised and then feared the practice of being alone, and those who seek it.
